Hi! I'm Elle, and I live most of the year in San Francisco. I'm an artist, designer and writer. I love to travel, and AirBnb is a special and vital part of the way that I experience the world and am inspired creatively.

Reviews From Guests

Elle was a cool and courteous host. She has a great place, nicely decorated, that gets tons of light. Industrial, inviting neighborhood with nice coffee spot within a short walk. Easy to get around town from here with a car; street parking outside the loft was ample and easy. Would happily stay again.

I enjoyed my stay at Elle’s studio. It is a true working loft, very spacious and airy with nice light and few functional furnishings. Bed is very comfortable, kitchen is simple and functional. There is comfortable bed, a very comfortable day bed and a working desk. Elle is an artist and everything is in good taste, pleasant to the eye but quite functional. Location is fantastic, especially if you want quick access to highways, trains, airport and the Bay area. Getting to the center is also quite easy. At the same time Dogpatch is a real neighborhood in its own right and has a lot of character. I like to run and the bay trail is flat (rarity in SF), pleasantly entertaining and will take you as far as 10 miles if you want to. Elle is a wonderful and attentive host and unlike many AirBNB hosts attends to business herself rather than hiring somebody. I stayed at four different AirBNB places in SF and so far it is my favorite.

Elle's studio is absolutely stunning and she was more than accommodating during my stay. The studio is in a quiet, up and coming neighborhood with cute cafes and delicious restaurants within walking distance - and Elle is kind enough to leave recommendations about all of this for her guests! The studio is also located close to public transportation if you don't have a car, or you can choose a stroll near the bay to get to downtown. I had everything I needed for my extended stay, and Elle was always available to answer questions and provide support. I'll definitely be staying next time I visit SF!

Elle's loft is gorgeous. It's simplistic and organized yet filled with little bits of inspiring notes, photos, books, drawings and paintings. If you're an artist yourself visiting the San Francisco area, Elle's space is perfect in every way and a must rent! Highly recommend!

Elle and Joe were wonderful guests - we would love to have them back any time. They left the Rancho neat and clean and were delightful people to talk with - artists like my husband!!
I hope we have more guests like them.
Pura vida from Costa Rica.

Yippee (website hidden)!!!!!!!! Luna came back 3 months later... and with colleagues and there was an amazing amount of beautiful work created!!!!!!! How lucky are these little rice paddies, and the critters and bapak!!!!!!!

Elle was a wonderful guest! We had great communication around her stay, and I really appreciated how well she took care of the shack- really responsible, tidy, and just a pleasure to host. Welcome back anytime!

Wow. Where to begin? Elle is such an inspiration ... she left a small luminous part of herself here in our rice paddies! And she is kind and respectful of the culture and enthusiastic....Consider it a rare gift to have her come and stay , I know I do. Alejandra
